Critics, Compilers, and Commentators. An Introduction to Roman Philology, 200 BCE-800 CE. - ZETZEL, J. E. G.,

An Introduction to Roman Philology, 200 BCE-800 CE

KORTE INHOUD

Critics, Compilers, and Commentators is a wonderful resource. The works with which it deals all explain something about Latin texts or the Latin language (3) and were all written or compiled or otherwise arranged and digested between the beginnings of Latin culture and the end of the eighth century CE. Zetzel has wrestled a billowing mass of material into nine crisp chapters under the rubric A short history of Roman scholarship; an extensive bibliographic guide; and forty-seven pages of Works Cited, including digital resources. Just one of these three sections would be worth the price of the book for anyone interested in the teaching and preservation of Latin culture over the longue duree. There is, as far as I know, no comparable work. Catherine Conybeare, Bryn Mawr Classical Review |a 15/04/2020 (Publisher's information).
